The New Mr. and Mrs.

Presenting Natasha and Jesse, my daughter and her husband, who were married on Saturday, October 8, 2011.

Sometimes one searches for family history. Other times one is involved in making family history. I've been doing the latter these past few months as I've tailored Natasha's wedding dress (with the help of an expert seamstress) and prepared for a celebration following their sacred wedding ceremony.

Saturday's weather offered a clear, crisp, bright day as its gift to the couple. Inside, the temple presented them with refreshing peace and calm. Family and friends showered them with love as we gathered to support them in the beginning of their new life together.

How great to see your daughter happily married! They look so happy! Thanks for your comment on my grandparents' 100th anniversary! I hope these two have a long and happy marriage too -- and will celebrate their 50th in 2061!

Congratulations on your daughter's wedding, Nancy! They look ecstatic -- and so nice of you to drop by on my parents' 69th wedding anniversary blog! Love continues to bloom! BTW, I noticed you and I have several fave books in common-- I just finished Unbroken -- such a story! I can't imagine how those men actually survived such brutality! The Guernsey Literary and potato Peel Pie Society, one of the most delightful books I've ever read. I want to KNOW the main character! Another WWII story, also with its tragedies, but overwhelmingly sweet and SO clever.

About Me

Sometimes I want to jump back in time, into the lives of my ancestors. Not to stay, of course -- too many modern conveniences I'd rather not do without -- but to meet them and watch their interactions with each other. Since I can't do that, I spend time learning about them and the times in which they lived. I look forward to meeting them. I've been seriously searching for my ancestors for nearly 8 years. I plan to continue indefinitely.
If you think we might have ancestors in common or you'd like to contact me for any other reason, please email me at myancestorsandme @ gmail.com.
